'''Bob-ombs''' are recurring enemies in the [[The Legend of Zelda series|''Legend of Zelda''s series]]. Bob-ombs are explosive bomb-like enemies that, when attacked, light their fuses and run around wildly before exploding and harming [[Link]], should he be in the vicinity of the blast. Two good ways to avoid being harmed by the resulting explosion are to either use a [[shield]] to block the explosion or shooting it with an [[arrow]] at it to detonate it immediately.

Bob-ombs appear in numerous areas of the game, beginning with certain portions of the Chambers of Insight. When struck with the Four Sword, they will fall into a dormant, blue state. If struck again, their fuses will ignite and they will run about the room until they explode, sometimes damaging the four Links. When they are in their blue state, they are prone to being picked up and utilized in a similar fashion to regular bombs.

Bob-ombs appear in several locations, such as the [[Cave of Flames]], [[Palace of Winds (The Minish Cap)|Palace of Winds]], and [[Dark Hyrule Castle]]. When hit, they will light their fuse and begin running around randomly. Bob-ombs can only be defeated instantly by shooting it with an [[arrow]], all other methods to defeat them (excluding the [[Gust Jar]]) will simply cause them to start running around. Hitting them while they are running around will cause them to stop moving and allow Link to pick them up and throw them, like a regular [[Bomb]]. The use of the Gust Jar is smart as Link can grab them safely, then launch them at enemies or [[Breakable Wall|walls]] that can be destroyed by a Bomb
